Awaken.
Arise from my slumber
Another day stuck in this prison.
Held in by four captors.
They speak to me in foreign tongues.
Allowed to roam freely in augmented reality,
Why am I ensnared, while they are all free to go?
This is my dimension, a question ill never know.
How long have I strived for,
For life outside these doors
(I've never really believed in it.)
How long have I strived for,
There is nothing that I would want more.
(Better believe in it.)
I sit here on my perch while planning my escape.
Should I attempt it?
Or will this exacerbate my position in here?
I hear them, they are near.
Distance the demons.
Mark my words, I'll disappear.
How long have I strived for,
For life outside these doors
(I've never really believed in it.)
How long have I strived for,
There is nothing that I would want more.
(Better believe in it.)
We will be tested,
But we will succeed.
We will succeed.
We will be tested.
We will succeed.

I gave what life left I had,
Crushing my chest just to be impressed
For what our dream had in store for us.
Scattered minds get you nowhere fast.
As I step up to the alter, sacrifice all I got.
You watch, I've felt nothing colder.
Blasphemy is what I see, right away.
Judging the concept, defeating it straight away.
This plague, it covers me.
We scribe to a simple story.
Don't forget, (these) discrepancies,
Will conquer and bring you to your knees.
Cordially, gorging on nothing but decency.
Alleviate common hypocrisies
Is the goal but we cant all work in sync.
It wont happen with all of this bickering.
I gave what life left I had,
Breakin' my neck just to pay homage
To the ones who gave me courage.
Page after page to define my rage
Manifest, infest our creation.
Tell you what I would say.
Where do you get the authority?
Inflict this affliction, right away.
Judging the concept, defeating it straight away.
This plague, it covers me.
We scribe to a simple story.
Don't forget, (these) discrepancies,
Will conquer and bring you to your knees.

Corruption seeking it's purpose
So bland and tasteless
Nothing but lost hope with a pinch of irritation
You can't keep me away
I'll keep on striking
'Til each one of you brainwashed fucks are 6 feet deep
But still fighting for nothing
As this domination
Begins to unfold
I’m not here to speak for you
But to speak for what is real
They disclose all that holds true
Nothing but lies and deceit
As we dread over the dawning of our decay
Live it love it 'til its fucking gone
Compelling argument
Insufficient acquisitions
Is this what we call our leaders
Promoting segregation
Evil work its agitation
Is this what you really wanted
The more you think, the more you’ll wonder why
There's all this hate and crime
So let me shed some news to you
I’m not here to speak for you
But to speak for what is real
They disclose all that holds true
Nothing but lies and deceit
As we dread over the dawning of our decay
Live it love it 'til its fucking gone
People pay through the roof for convenience
Seemingly we all convene to this
Burning resources, consume with no remorse
Unless it directly effects us
I’m not here to speak for you
But to speak for what is real
They disclose all that holds true
Nothing but lies and deceit
As we dread over the dawning of our decay
Life is to short to live in fear
Cast it all aside
This is to you, my dear
Life is to short to live in fear
Cast it all aside
Dismantle the hierarchy

Step out of the car, catch myself
With a bottle of Jack and a case of JR
Take it slow are words I don't know
I can't remember how I got here
Or what I've left behind
I've got no concept of time
That doesn't mean you can waste mine
I'm the conductor of this fucking train wreck
I'm not looking for love
I've got a love to fuck
And I'm living proof that it's more than enough
God dammit I've tried
Believe me I lie
Young and alive
But for how long?
God dammit I've tried
Believe me I lie
Young and alive
But for how long?
Believe me I lie in front of flashing lights
I'm tired of drinking alone
I'm never going home
Believe me I lie and you're to blame this time
No promise of more time could ever bring me back to life
Celebrate anything
Inoculate this atrophy
See how obnoxious I can be
It all just fades away
Seize the bottle fuelling me
"Outta the car sir, on your feet"
Consciously I can't convey
These words are saving grace
You'll find me racing down this road
If I stop's questionable
You'll find me racing down this road
'Til I crash, my engine blows.
Celebrate anything
Inoculate this atrophy
See how obnoxious I can be
It all just fades away
Seize the bottle fuelling me
"Outta the car sir, on your feet"
Consciously I can't convey
These words are my dismay
Am I the only one
That can't continue this conversation
Try to hide my intoxication
Am I the only one
That can't consider the consequence
Behind the wheel all at my expense
Celebrate anything
Inoculate this atrophy
See how obnoxious I can be
It all just fades away
Seize the bottle fuelling me
"Outta the car sir, on your feet"
Consciously I can't convey
These words are saving grace
Am I the only one?
Believe me I lie in front of flashing lights
I'm tired of drinking alone
I'm never going home
Believe me I lie and you're to blame this time
No promise of more time could ever bring me back to life
I blame everyone else except myself.

Don't fret, it'll all get better soon
That's what I say to myself about this
Comply and try not to resume
Digging a hole in the ice, and it's daunting
I can't seem to fend for myself
But If I loot who I see, I can pack my fucking shelf
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
I can't take the world in this state
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
I can't take the world in this state
Believe me, I'll wake from my sleep someday
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
We're the ones who stole
Just goes to show
That when you close your eyes
This imagery is all that I can believe
You gotta do what you gotta do
This is not the be all end all
Dreams and drive is all you need to survive
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
I can't take the world in this state
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
I can't take the world in this state
Believe me, I'll wake from my sleep someday
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
'Cause we the fucking thieves
We the thieves
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
I can't take the world in this state
No one knows the things I've seen only in my dreams
With my eyes closed
I can't take the world in this state
